FATALITIES
During the year 1967, one (1) fatal accident occurred in the coal minesof Maryland.
A roof-fall accident at Buffalo No. 1 Mine, Buffalo Coal Company, Inc.,Table Rock, Garrett County, Maryland, that occurred about 8:15 a.m.,Thursday, March 30, 1967, at the intersection of the third crosscut beingdriven right of the 1 right main entry off left mains, resulted in thedeath of Arthur C. Burgess, section foreman. He was 47 years of ageand had 30 years of mining experience, 10 years as a foreman of which 5months were at this mine. He is survived by his widow.
At the completion of the coal-producing shift on the day prior to theaccident, the third crosscut of 1 right off left mains had been advanced 35feet. The coal-producing crew of five workmen and Arthur C. Burgess,section foreman, arrived on this section shortly before 8 a.m., Thursday,March 30, 1967. Edward J. Kovach, continuous-miner operator whoaccompanied Burgess while he made the examination of the area and work-ing place, stated that Burgess tested the roof from the entrance of thecrosscut to the face and remarked that the area was well timbered andsafe to work. Kovach also stated that he did not notice any abnormalroof conditions as he entered the working place and he too consideredthe area adequately timbered. Burgess remained in the working placewhile the continuous miner completed two cuts across the face of thecrosscut which advanced the face about 3 feet. As the third cut wasstarted, Burgess took the hoist rope from the discharge end of the piggy-back conveyor and connected it to the main chain-conveyor line at theintersection. The continuous miner made this cut across the face to within4 feet of the left rib when suddenly the roof fall occurred across the inter-section of the crosscut and 32 feet outby the face. Kovach and the three
FOR THE CALENDAR YEAR 1967 21
men who were near the face knowing that Burgess was somewhere in thearea went looking for him and found him under the fall. Joseph H. Bava,Sr., utilityman, working along the chain-conveyor line about 150 feetoutby, heard the roof fall and, upon learning that Burgess was under thefall, contacted W. E. White, superintendent, arranged to have an am-bulance at the mine portal, and returned with a stretcher. Using a liftingjack, the workmen freed Burgess. No sign of life was discernable. Hewas placed on a stretcher and taken to the surface and then transportedby ambulance to a funeral home in Oakland, Maryland, where he waspronounced dead by Dr. James H. Feaster, Garrett County MedicalExaminer.
The fallen material which broke into many pieces was 26 feet long, 22feet wide, and 13 to 15 inches thick. One hidden clay seam 35 feet inlength extended from the main chain-conveyor line to about 8 feet intothe crosscut, and another one extended from near the right side of thecrosscut diagonally across the intersection.
This accident was caused by a sudden collapse of inadequately supportedroof which contained two separate hidden clay veins. Contributory theretowas the failure to properly evaluate the existing roof conditions and tomaintain sufficient roof sunports in the exposed roof area.
RECOMMENDATIONS: 1. The minimum standards for roof supportshould be revised to include setting of crossbars where maneuvering ofeauiprnent requires exposure of broad soans of roof, or considerationshould be given to the use of roof bolts. 2. Officials and employeesshould make a more careful and thorough evaluation of existing roofconditions.
An investigation of the accident was conducted at the mine on March31, 1967 by Chester L. Evans, Inspector in charge of the district, HarryB. Buckley, Director, and Inspectors Thomas B. Powell and Melvin K.DeShong, all of the Maryland Bureau of Mines; along with Maurice S.Childers, William Harsanyi, and Joseph Marshalek of the United StatesBureau of Mines.
